MHI Research

Social Return on Investment Report (2015)

MHI, with funding support from Ontario Trillium Foundation, commissioned the Carleton Centre for Community Innovation, a research unit within the Faculty of Public Affairs, Carleton University, to develop indicators based on the Social Return on Investment (SROI) methodology as basis to gather data to inform a Social Return on Investment analysis and a narrative report.

In the fall of 2013, the social measurement specialist from the Carleton Centre for Community Innovation (3ci) was assigned to assist MHI volunteer manager to conduct a Social Return on Investment (SROI) evaluation of the Housing Program.

Report Objective

The purpose of the project was to understand the impacts of the Multifaith Housing Initiative (MHI) Housing Program on MHI tenants and volunteers. This research is an attempt by MHI to demonstrate the social value of the Housing Program through volunteer contributions.

Key Findings
